Le gîte du Moulin

INFO-Ecourues on the Mayenne from September to November 2024. Look out of your window on the banks of the Mayenne and discover the exceptional site of the Neuville lock. This towpath has become the Vélofrancette, a bicycle trail offering all the services you need to enjoy a stay on the water. Experience the Slowlydays spirit! On foot, on horseback, by bike, canoe or boat. Evelyne and Lucien will tell you all about the Mayenne region and guide you through its treasures: small restaurants, local producers (llama wool, meat, vegetables...). You can also take advantage of the restaurant Les Copains d'abord nearby, and the craftsmen along the way (including a cutlery workshop just 2 steps away). If you're bringing horses, you can put them in the 2.5ha fenced field, with 3 paddocks. If you have bicycles, you can leave them in a closed garage. By bike, you're only 20 minutes from the town of Château-Gontier (8km) via the towpath, so you can take advantage of the Refuge de l'Arche (wildlife park), the marina and Canotika harbor office (bike and boat rentals), aquatic complex, museum and theater (scène nationale Le Carré). The town also offers a full range of shops and restaurants. For larger groups, other accommodation is available at the Neuville lock: le Moulin de Neuville (10 people) H53G019721. Bed & breakfast is also available on the other side of the river, at the Chambres d'hôtes du Parc (up to 4 people) H53H010699: you'll be transported by a small boat.
